My Occasion

Their new bundle of joy is the best gift. That doesn’t mean the proud parents wouldn’t welcome (make that love) a thoughtful gift to celebrate the cherished occasion. But what do you give someone whose world has joyfully changed from “me” to “we”?

Here are some eye-catching ideas that will make the new parents feel as thankful as they do at naptime or when grandma babysits for that much-needed break. They also make delightful new parent and baby shower gift ideas for the mom-to-be.

Pink or Blue Baby Bouquet

Celebrate the growing family with a “Baby Bouquet.” Baby boy or girl onesies, bibs, and booties that are hand-rolled to look like flowers and mixed with decorative plastic leaves. Place inside a flowerpot or basket to complete the look.

What do parents treasure most? It’s mementos of baby’s first years – from locks of hair to those precious first photos. You can personalize virtually any kind of box with the child’s name and birthdate. If you’ve got the DIY gene, a trip to a craft store or hobby shop can help you find dozens of fun ways to personalize the box inside and out.

Shower the proud parents with personalized M&M’S

Every new mom and dad needs a welcome break – even if it’s just for a few minutes. M&M’S make unforgettable personalized gifts for new parents and baby showers. Customize M&M’S with traditional pink or blue colors or glam it up with silver or gold. Add baby-themed clip art, the baby’s name or his or her first photo.

Deliver special moments to baby showers and christenings.

Unique gifts for new parents and expectant moms don’t have to be expensive to be cherished. Buy personalized M&M’S in bulk and use your imagination to create memorable gifts, favors, and decorations.

Place custom M&M’S into organza-style favor bags and tie with colorful satin ribbons. Or create your own labels for baby jars and fill with custom-blended M&M’S.

Oh baby! You’ve got a dilemma. You’re looking for adorable decorations and ideas for an upcoming baby shower but nothing feels truly memorable. It’s a sea of pink and blue and nothing new.

You want a one-of-a-kind shower favors that will have other moms asking, “where did you find that?” It’s time to think outside the bassinet. Here are some inspired ideas for your next mom-to-be celebration.

A DIY “Mom-mosa” bar.

Here’s a refreshingly unique favor – a do-it-yourself “mom-mosa” bar. Just bring chilled orange juice, bubbly or flavored soda water. You can personalize the champagne flutes with the guests’ names. You can even bring out the calligrapher in you and write monograms on each flute with a permanent marker.

Forget the baby shower. Throw a baby sprinkle.

What’s a baby sprinkle? A sprinkle is a smaller version of a shower for a mom who’s expecting her second or third baby. The sprinkle theme can add a touch of magic to the party. Guests can add colorful sprinkles to cupcakes or ice cream. Create “sprinkle” balloons by putting confetti into clear plastic balloons. For fun favors, anything with polka dots will do the trick.

Personalized M&M’S & mom – make a sweet team.

Showering the mom-to-be and her guests with personalized M&M’S candy is a sweet way to show how much you care. You can personalize from our 20+ special colors. Go traditional with pink or blue. Or go stylish with gold or silver. You can add baby-themed clip-art or add one of mom’s favorite photos.

Boy or Girl? Celebrate the arrival-to-be with either “It’s a Boy” or “It’s a Girl” baby shower favors, or personalize your own! If mom is keeping it a secret, get both and mix them up. You can personalize them with messages, baby-themed clip art, or fun photos of mom and dad.

Create unique baby shower favors by putting them cellophane bags tied with pink or blue ribbons. Pass them out as guests arrive, use them as prizes for the winners of your baby shower games, or place them into gift bags as a memento of this special occasion.
